Chapter 155 A Pack of Wild Dogs
Ever since he last met Jiang Qing, Liao Jiang has been staying at his base.
However, the correspondence with the capital became more and more frequent.
"The Crown Prince and Prince Yu had a conflict, which was nothing more than a fight for the throne. As the teacher of Prince Yu and Prince Jing, Jiang Qingzhi cannot escape blame."
Liao Jiang raised his eyes and handed the letter to Chen Can.
Chen Canfei took a quick look and said with a smile, "The Crown Prince's position is stable, and the harem did not scold the Crown Prince during the conflict, which shows that His Majesty is quite dissatisfied with Prince Yu and Jiang Qingzhi. It's just that His Majesty values love, so he tolerated it."
"Master Hou!"
An attendant came in, looking excited, "Hundreds of Taiyuan scholars are besieging Luoyuan!"
"what?"
Liao Jiang stood up suddenly. The huge surprise made him a little overwhelmed. He looked around and suddenly laughed.
"Hahahaha!"
Chen Can smiled and said, "My Lord, this is God's blessing!"
"God help me! God help me!"
Liao Jiang said with a flushed face: "I have long heard of the power of scholars breaking the boot formation. Hundreds of scholars attacked Luo Garden... Let's go and take a look."
……
"Hey!"
In the palace, Prince Jin sighed, but there was more joy in his eyes.
After Jiang Qingzhi pointed out his ambitions and secret operations, Prince Jin became uneasy and wrote petitions to flatter the Taoist priest over the past few days.
Upon hearing the news, Prince Jin could not suppress his joy and immediately went to the study.
Soon the two women were ordered in.
Suddenly the whole room was filled with spring.
……
Hundreds of scholars gathered together, a group of such size that they could sweep across Taiyuan City. Even Sun Huan had to retreat when he saw them.
But Jiang Qingzhi remained calm and asked coldly, "Are you planning a rebellion?"
The two scholars leading the group today are named Luo Fei and Chen An.
Luo Fei walked out of the crowd and looked at Jiang Qingzhi with hatred in his eyes. "We are here today to seek justice for those two classmates."
One of the two scholars who were arrested was his wife's younger brother.
Chen An stood shoulder to shoulder with him, "They were just there to watch the fun that day, but they were captured by Chang Wei Bo. They were escorted to the capital yesterday. It was said that they were to be exiled..."
Jiang Qingzhi said, "Sending them to the southwest to live with the natives will at least save some food for the Ming Dynasty."
Luo Fei cursed: "That is the seed of my orthodox religion, you bastard, you are relying on your majesty's power to bully people in Taiyuan, today we are going to eliminate this evil for the people."
He turned around and shouted, "Why do we study? We must die for justice today. Everyone, if we get rid of this traitor for the country today, our names will be glorious for all eternity!"
"Beat the dog thief!"
Hundreds of scholars began to clamor.
"Uncle!"
Hu Zongxian's face changed drastically.
Xu Jie was helpless against this broken boot formation.
Jiang Qingzhi spoke slowly.
"A bunch of idiots, you don't even want to show your respect. Chen Ji!"
Chen Ji turned around and knelt on one knee.
"Uncle!"
Jiang Qingzhi pointed at the scholars and said, "Fight them!"
More than a hundred soldiers armed with sticks rushed forward.
Historically, the government has not dared to intervene when scholars gathered together to cause trouble. The more people there are, the more afraid the government is.
Why?
Because public opinion is in the hands of scholars.
Once the government takes action, public opinion will be in an uproar and local officials will not be able to escape accountability.
The soldiers who took action suffered an even more miserable fate... In an era when culture is valued more than military, the revenge of the literati can make these warriors regret being born into this world.
But who is Jiang Qingzhi?
More than a hundred nights rushed forward.
The sticks were swung with great force.
"Help!"
A scholar had his arm broken. He screamed and turned around to escape.
But the people behind him were rushing forward, blocking him in the middle.
After being hit by another stick, the scholar fell down.
"How dare you, you bastard?" Luo Fei retreated while shouting, "Today I will die for my country... Charge!"
Chen An shouted, "The Taiyuan Shilin are watching us, we will not retreat!"
After shouting, Chen An crouched down and moved backwards.
The scholars in front were beaten like crazy, but the two of them quietly slipped out, smiled at each other, and felt relieved to have survived the calamity.
"Come on!"
The two rushed out of the door, but ran into Sun Chonglou head-on.
The young guard grinned and said, "Young Master has long anticipated that someone would escape, you bastard, kneel down!"
Behind Sun Chonglou were dozens of soldiers.
Also holding a stick.
Luo Fei shouted to the crowd: "Jiang Qingzhi is bullying the people of Taiyuan. Fellow villagers, fight them!"
But the people are not fools. If there is an advantage to be gained, they don't mind taking advantage of it.
Look at those burly soldiers, who would be crazy enough to seek trouble for themselves?
"How dare you bewitch me!"
Sun Chonglou was furious. He grabbed Luo Fei and knocked him to his knees with just one punch, then kicked him.
puff!
The sound of something breaking was dull.
Luo Fei's eyes were dull and he slowly fell to the ground with his legs clamped together.
"I told you not to scold my young master!" Sun Chonglou kicked Chen An to the ground, grabbed his hair, and slammed him against the wall.
After just a few hits, Chen An's face became a mass of rotten flesh.
Sun Huan rushed over with a group of officials and just saw Sun Chonglou banging Chen An's head against the wall.
"stop!"
Sun Huan shouted.
Sun Chonglou glanced at him and continued to hit him.
"Long Wilbur!"
Sun Huan roared, "This old man, Sun Huan, is here!"
There were constant howlings in the front yard, it sounded like hell.
His roar could not be heard at all.
Then a group of embarrassed scholars escaped.
"beat!"
The soldiers outside the door rushed up, two people taking charge of one person, and after a few hits, either the legs or the hands were broken.
The scholars fell to the ground and rolled over, screaming. The officials behind Sun Huan were horrified. They were also scholars once, and they could not help but feel the same when they saw this scene.
"Prefect!" Everyone looked at Sun Huan.
"This is too much." An official cursed: "How arrogant and domineering is this?"
Sun Chonglou was tired of beating Chen An, so he threw him aside and said, "They said that the young master was a traitor and wanted to get rid of him for the Ming Dynasty. Why didn't they say that they were domineering?"
Yes!
The people watching all thought this made sense.
The official blurted out, "How can scholars be the same?"
After he finished speaking, he found that everyone was moving away from him.
Sun Chonglou was furious, "Why can scholars be different? Scholars can kill people and set fires? This is what the young master said..."
The young guard scratched his head, "Double standard dog!"
The official pointed his halberd at Sun Chonglou and was about to yell at him, but Sun Chonglou yelled, "You bastard, if you point at me again, I'll cut off your finger."
The official was startled and subconsciously put down his hand.
Young people have less experience, suffer less, but also have fewer concerns. If an adult wants to cut off an official's finger, he will probably think about the consequences. But young people don't think about these things at all, they just want to get their mind around it.
Don’t bully the young!
The scholars were dragged out one by one by the soldiers and thrown outside the door.
Hundreds of scholars were gathered everywhere.
The screams of agony continued...
"Hell! Eternal Hell!"
Sun Huan was heartbroken.
At this time Jiang Qingzhi came out.
With a medicinal cigarette in his mouth, Hu Zongxian was on one side, a female captain of the Embroidered Uniform Guard was on the other side, and guards such as Sun Bu Tong followed with swords.
This power is terrifying.
"Old Sun!" Jiang Qingzhi nodded as a greeting.
Sun Huan stamped his feet, "Chang Wei Bo, why did you do that?"
"What you said is not very kind. Do you want me to sit there and get beaten?" Jiang Qingzhi felt that Sun Huan was a little crazy.
Sun Huan wanted you to run away!
But he was too embarrassed to say it.
Looking at those disabled scholars, Sun Huan sighed: "Too cruel, what will happen next..."
"They want to destroy me, and even more so, they want to destroy Taiyuan City. It's better to cry all the way than to cry alone!"
Jiang Qingzhi kicked away the hand that was grabbing at his feet. The owner of the hand screamed and shouted at Sun Huan: "Old parents, help me!"
Sun Huan said: "The capital will be shaken."
"Old Sun, I have always admired you for what you do, but you got this matter wrong."
Jiang Qingzhi took a puff of the medicinal smoke, letting the cool smoke pass through his lungs. He coughed dryly and pointed at the scholars with his finger that was sandwiched between the medicinal smoke.
"The evil people of the White Lotus Sect are eyeing me covetously, looking for an opportunity to start a rebellion. But they are afraid of me being in charge of Taiyuan. If these idiots come to cause trouble today and I flee in embarrassment or die at their hands, Old Sun, do you dare to bet with me that those evil people are nearby..."
Including the onlookers, everyone couldn't help but look around.
"If they succeed, the city of Taiyuan will be filled with shouts of killing. How many people will die in this riot?"
Jiang Qingzhi suddenly cursed: "A bunch of idiots, are they more precious than the lives of the people in the city?"
In the crowd, Chen Bao shouted, "So that's what's going on. Beat these bastards!"
"beat!"
The emotions of the people are the easiest to mobilize... Just use their immediate interests to deceive them, and have someone stir up trouble.
This is the psychological warfare content taught by Jiang Qingzhi.
Onlookers flocked to the scene.
"Stop! Stop!"
Sun Huan shouted in vain.
When the common people dispersed, the scholars on the ground looked like withered flowers and fallen willows.
Not far away, someone sighed, "Jiang Qingzhi is decisive, otherwise today would be a good opportunity to start a rebellion!"
Sun Huan seemed to have aged ten years, with a hunched back. He said to the scholars with a look of regret: "The purpose of reading the books of sages is to help you understand the truth, not just follow what others say!"
The families of those scholars rushed over upon hearing the news.
The scene was crying.
"Let's go back first!" A scholar looked at Jiang Qingzhi viciously.
"Where are you going?"
Jiang Qingzhi waved his hand, and Hu Zongxian walked out like a dog-headed military strategist.
"Give me your names."
The scholars screamed and signed up like heroes.
"Wang Tao, what do you think?"
"My name is Ma Yue, kill me if you dare."
After recording everything, Hu Zongxian glanced at Jiang Qingzhi.
Jiang Qingzhi said calmly: "All these people will be expelled from the country!"
The so-called expulsion refers to student status.
That is to say, to strip away one's fame and honor.
Why do scholars dare to gather together and cause trouble?
He even dared to use the Broken Boots Formation to attack the prime minister's house, relying on his fame and honor.
Losing fame is like losing a talisman.
From now on, you have to pay taxes and perform labor service...
"Jiang Qingzhi, you don't have the qualifications!" Someone yelled, "Only a Grand Master can remove someone from the clan!"
Jiang Qingzhi took out an imperial edict from his arms.
"Your Majesty's order is here, Xu Benbo can do as he sees fit."
Jiang Qingzhi looked at the officials of Taiyuan Prefecture and asked:
"Who objects?"
Liao Jiang, who was at the back of the crowd, suddenly slapped the shaft of the cart and yelled, "Go!"
The follower subconsciously asked: "Where to?"
Snapped!
Liao Jiang originally wanted to see Jiang Qingzhi's excitement, but he didn't expect to see the secret decree. The follower's questioning added fuel to the fire. Liao Jiang slapped him and got on the carriage, "Hurry up and leave!"
Sun Huan's lips trembled a few times and he remained silent.
"No!"
A student came crawling over, "Master, please forgive me, it's them..." The scholar turned around and pointed at his once close comrades-in-arms, "They are the ones who conspired to cause trouble, and I am willing to report it!"
Er Gouzi!
Jiang Qingzhi chuckled, as if to encourage him.
“Students are willing to report!”
Immediately, the scholars who revolted on the battlefield began to bite their former classmates.
"The civility is gone, the civility is gone!"
The school official of Taiyuan Prefecture stamped his feet.
Behind the officials of Taiyuan Prefecture, Zhu Yi, the Princess of Changning County, who had heard the news, got off the carriage and looked at the handsome young man with complicated eyes. Seeing that the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, he said contemptuously:
"A pack of wild dogs!"
